In this case, you should see an error in red: "No source partition table file was assigned!" when you restoring the image. Didn't you see that ? To use "-k1", there must exist such a sda-pt.sf file so it can be a reference to create proportional partition table. Maybe something went wrong when you saved an image ? Normally no matter which advanced options you choose, a sda-pt.sf should be created. Please try to save it again. BTW, "-j3" is no more for a long time... Which version of Clonezilla live are you using now ?
